work. life. open source. diatribes.

The PDE team has been spending a lot of late nights the past few days working on getting everything ready for 3.3M5. Here’s a sneak peak of just some of the things coming in by the end of this week 🙂

Bringing Sexy Back to PDE Form Validation

Mike Pawlowski has done a fantastic job in improving the PDE editors in 3.3M5; this is only a snapshot of what he has done 🙂

Update Site Target Provisioner

I have spent the past few days working on an update site provisioner for PDE. What this basically means is that you can goto your Target Platform preference page and add plug-ins to your target platform by pointing to update sites 🙂 This is all part of PDE’s provisioning story, and if you think about it, there is the possibility of adding target provisioner’s that can work with OSGi’s OBR or maybe those crazy Maven heathens can figure out how to integrate a target provisioner for a Maven-based environment.

This is only a small sneak peak of what the PDE team has accomplished for 3.3M5, so please pay attention to the New & Noteworthy for everything 🙂
